Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) has released its Q2 2025 Quality of Service (QoS) Survey, ranking the country’s top cellular mobile operators (CMOs) based on their mobile broadband performance. Internet speed testing was done across 19 cities to evaluate download and upload speeds using both auto mode and third-party applications.
Here is how it was done.
Auto Mode Tests involved controlled download/upload testing using standardized 10GB files over 3-minute durations, and Third-Party App Tests simulated real-world performance using independent tools to assess user-experience-based speeds.
Rankings were determined based on the number of cities where a provider achieved 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th position in speed performance.
Here are the results.
Jazz currently leads Pakistan’s mobile broadband space in terms of internet speed, leading in nearly all speed-based metrics, particularly in download throughput both in controlled (auto mode) and real-world (third-party app) scenarios.
Zong showed strong performance in upload speeds, particularly in third-party app tests, outperforming all others with the highest number of top rankings.
Ufone ranks mostly in third place, keeping the middle ground as always.
Telenor consistently ranks last across nearly all mobile broadband metrics, indicating the need for significant upgrades.
